Her artwork within the hospital environment has been used in an MD thesis about the stress reducing effect of one interior design concept at Charité Berlin.  Her work has also been the basis of several student midwife presentation and research documents across the country, mainly focusing on how the interior environment effects patient well-being. 2011-04-28T10:38:45+00:00 http://www.hdart.co.uk/index.php/blog/the-artist-returns/ http://www.hdart.co.uk/index.php/blog/the-artist-returns/ Lynne was delighted to be invited back to Sinfin Art Group in April to lead a workshop in Abstract Art.  Lynne worked previously with this group in 2009 on a highly successful project with QUAD Outreach, Arts and Health. The group were so impressed with her delivery style that they invited her back independently. For her most recent workshop Lynne focused on landscape with the session being underpinned by contextual studies in art history and in-depth art technique demonstrations. Lynne has also been invited back again later this year to deliver further sessions in August 2011. The painting featured is J.M.W Turner's Rain, 'Steam, Speed 1884' which has formed the basis for a lot of discussion in the group. 2011-04-28T10:26:59+00:00 http://www.hdart.co.uk/index.php/blog/goldsquad/ http://www.hdart.co.uk/index.php/blog/goldsquad/ Lynne will be delivering a series of four painting workshops with GoldsQuad every Wednesday from the 10th to the 31st of August 2011.  This is a group set up by Quad, Derby to  improve the happiness and well being of the 50+ in Derby through increased participation in the arts and to be a supportive community that create art together whilst raising issues around health and wellbeing.

We were happy with the overall design of the Hollingsworth Designs website before, but wanted to update the layout, improve the way it worked and change the structure. Baseline listened to our requirements and made some really good suggestions for additional improvements we could make. The website now works better and is much easier to update. It hass been such a delight to work with the team at Baseline, they are true professionals who have surpassed all our expectations. The website is an important part of our business and it has been reassuring to know that it has been in safe hands, with a team at Baseline who are both creative and incredibly technical. Hollingsworth Designs is looking to develop the site further over the coming year by adding new pages, galleries and features. We are looking forward to working with Baseline again and strongly recommend their services as a creative company. 2011-04-15T13:00:55+00:00 http://www.hdart.co.uk/index.php/blog/derby-royal-hospital-enhancements-2010/ http://www.hdart.co.uk/index.php/blog/derby-royal-hospital-enhancements-2010/ Since early 2010 Lynne has been working closely with Derby Royal Hospital, Labour Ward to create some large-scale murals for the Mid-wife led rooms and also the entrance, corridor and reception.
